According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), SlowMist’s threat intelligence system MistEye has detected a cross-registry supply chain attack targeting developers. Malicious packages have spread across three major registries—npm, PyPI, and Crates.io—comprising over 34 malicious packages and more than 384 related versions. The attack targets developer communities in cryptocurrency, DeFi, Solana, Sui/Move, and AI. It may lead to the theft of cryptocurrency wallets, SSH keys, cloud credentials, GitHub/AWS tokens, browser data, and other sensitive developer information. Some malicious payloads also attempt persistence via mechanisms including `.cursorrules`, `CLAUDE.md`, Git hooks, cron, systemd, and SSH. SlowMist recommends immediately removing affected packages, isolating compromised systems, rotating exposed credentials, rebuilding CI environments and developer machines from clean images, and conducting comprehensive reviews of GitHub, cloud, SSH, and wallet-related activities.
According to research by security firm Socket Security, a cryptocurrency-stealing supply chain attack dubbed “TrapDoor” spans npm, PyPI, and Crates.io, involving over 34 malicious packages and 384 related versions and artifacts. The attack targets cryptocurrency, DeFi, Solana, Sui, Move, and AI developers. Attack samples can steal sensitive information including SSH keys, wallet data, AWS credentials, GitHub tokens, browser data, and environment variables. Specifically, npm packages execute the shared payload `trap-core.js` via the `postinstall` hook; PyPI packages execute remote JavaScript upon import; and Crates.io packages steal local keystores via `build.rs`. Socket has flagged all related packages as malicious and reported them to the respective package registries.

CoinShares data shows crypto funds saw net inflows of $858 million last week, marking the fifth consecutive week of inflows and the largest single-week inflow since the end of April. Among them, Bitcoin funds attracted over $700 million in a single week, with year-to-date inflows reaching $4.9 billion, indicating sustained growth in institutional investor demand for the crypto market.Market analysis suggests that positive expectations related to the "Clarity Act" have driven an improvement in institutional sentiment. Currently, BTC prices remain above the $80,000 mark, with the market watching for a potential breakout of the 200-day moving average near $82,000. Marex analysts point out that if Bitcoin manages a daily close above $82,000 accompanied by stable spot buying, it could initiate a new upward trend.In the altcoin space, SUI rose 12% in 24 hours to $1.26. Mysten Labs co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun revealed that Sui plans to launch confidential transaction features this year to support fee-free private payments.

Mysten Labs co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun stated at Consensus 2026 that the Sui network has processed over $1 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume since August last year, and plans to launch zero-fee stablecoin transfers and privacy payment features.Abiodun stated that Sui aims to become the "default network for the future flow of funds," noting that current traditional cross-border payment systems charge excessively high fees. For example, transferring $100 to Nigeria could incur a $35 fee. Future financial systems should not be as fully public as social media, and users require stronger privacy protection capabilities. Sui is developing a storage layer that supports encrypted transaction intents to accommodate AI Agent-driven automated payments as well as future refund and fraud handling mechanisms. Additionally, Sui is currently testing quantum-resistant signature technology on its testnet, aiming to complete deployment before the EU's quantum security requirements take effect in 2030. Abiodun also expressed willingness to coordinate with the Bitcoin ecosystem and open-source the relevant research.However, Sui has recently faced technical stability challenges, with its mainnet experiencing several hours of downtime in January 2026. The current price of SUI is approximately $0.99, down about 81% from its all-time high of $5.35 set in January 2025. (The Block)
